"The judiciary is a mechanism for allowing society to get along peacefully with one another" The Judiciary is much more than that. But even if that were the case, judges who make bad decisions impair the peace that they're charged with keeping. It would increase peace to get rid of bad judges and prevent them from issuing bad judgements. I think our primary issue is "what constitutes a bad decision". You separate out bad decisions from incompetent and corrupt decisions. I think that any 'bad decision' is one that reveals a Judge to be incompetent or corrupt. In this case, I think the judge made a bad decision because their decision didn't reflect the evidence available to them. They should be put on probation at the least.
